Other companies in the industry can also implement the standard and thus increase their IT security level. Thus, outside of legal obligations, B3S district heating also makes an important contribution to increasing IT security in the industry. The first industry-specific safety standard was awarded to the BSI on 1 August 2017 for the water / wastewater sector.

COMMUNICATION

THE RETURN TO COLLEGE

The Minister of Higher Education, Research and Innovation presented a paper on the start of the academic year.

Between September and October, nearly 2,700,000 students return to higher education institutions in France. From this year, they are better welcomed and better accompanied by the implementation of the student plan. The Government has made access to and success in higher education a top priority, both in terms of pedagogy, personalization of courses and in terms of material conditions of study, with a net reduction in the cost of the 2018 school year.

The first objective of the student plan is to promote success in higher education, at a time when two out of three students fail or give up at the end of the first year of the license. This endemic failure is mainly due to insufficiently prepared and accompanied guidance, which led too many students to make default choices or to engage in training without being fully aware of the reality of the teaching that was there. exemption.

The students who enter this year in higher education are pioneers: they are the first to have benefited from a true accompaniment throughout the year of terminal, thanks to the doubling of the principal professors, the creation of two dedicated weeks the orientation and all the information and services offered directly on Parcoursup.

This support is extended throughout their schooling, since it is now training that adapts to the profiles of their students, not the other way around. 135,000 personalized courses have been offered via the Parcoursup platform. They are reflected in particular by adapting the pace of study for each student, who may have the time and lessons needed to consolidate their learning or methodology, but also by building bridges between courses, so that students who reorient themselves are no longer in a situation of failure.

This paradigm shift has also begun in the first year of common health studies (PACES), thanks to an experiment launched at the beginning of the school year in conjunction with the Ministry of Solidarity and Health. In four institutions, students who are not admitted to the second year of PACES will not repeat, but will continue their studies in the second year of the license. They will be able to value their achievements and will have another chance, after the second or third year, to join medical studies.

2.-

Finally, at the beginning of the 2018 academic year, 104 higher education institutions are part of the "student ambassador" animation network: students in civic service will accompany their comrades entering higher education. In connection with the State Secretariat for Disabled People, a specific section is devoted to supporting students with disabilities. The second part of the law n ° 2018-166 of March 8, 2018 relative to the orientation and the success of the students aims at reducing the failure by improving the material conditions of studies. This is why, with the student plan, the Government has made a strong commitment and the cost of the 2018 school year is down sharply.

As soon as this school year starts, the contribution to the student social security scheme, amounting to 217 euros, is abolished. In parallel, a contribution student and campus life (CVEC), amounting to 90 euros, was set up. In total, this represents a net gain in purchasing power of 100 million euros for all students and their families. For all students at the university, registration fees decrease by 14 euros in License, 13 euros in Master and 11 euros in Doctorate. The price of the university catering ticket is also the subject of an effort: it has been frozen for the third year in a row at 3.25 euros.

An improvement in the quality of service is expected. Thanks to CVEC, nearly € 100 million will be invested directly on campuses to create new health centers, improve access to sport and culture, and fund student life initiatives in the form of participatory budget: students will be able to give their opinion on the future equipment they wish to see develop.

In addition, while each year there were delays and delays in the payment of scholarships, the Regional Centers for Academic and Academic Works (CROUS) undertook, as part of the student plan, to make payment from August 30th. the first month of the scholarship of the year since the student had completed his file before the end of July. This commitment was held: as of September 5, 2018, twice as many scholarships (or 358,000) had actually been paid compared to the same date in 2017. This advance payment is now doubled by a payment commitment to date : from October, all scholarships will be paid before the 5th of each month.

Finally, while access to housing is one of the major physical difficulties faced by students, the Government has given new impetus to mobilization in this area. In connection with the Ministry of Territorial Cohesion, the "80 000 plan" has been launched: it provides 60 000 additional housing for students and 20 000 for young people active over five years. From 2018, thanks to the "Visale" system set up with Action Logement, all students can access a free rental guarantee.

Cámara asks to incorporate food allergies in the Health Explicit Guarantees Plan

MIL OSI Translation. Region: Spanish / Latin America / UN –

Source: Chamber of Deputies of Chile

The Chamber of Deputies unanimously approved resolution 169, which requests President Sebastián Piñera to instruct the Ministers of Health and Finance to carry out the necessary studies to incorporate food allergies in the Explicit Health Guarantees Plan.

The resolution also calls for a public policy to support people and families affected by food allergies, as well as social awareness regarding the prevalence and implications of them.

Together with the above, it is requested to consider the possibility of carrying out an exceptional evaluation of this health problem, with the purpose of being included in the new Ges decree that will come into force in 2019.

Among the background, parliamentarians state that, at present, we do not have a public health policy that recognizes food allergy as a health problem, despite the high prevalence of the disease and growth in recent years.

They add that a food allergy represents a high economic and emotional cost for a family, since there are many aspects that must be faced in order to attack the disease.

The resolution was presented to the Chamber by deputies Pablo Kast (EVOP), Juan Antonio Coloma (UDI), Marcelo Diaz (PS), Andrea Parra (PPD), Marisela Santibáñez (PRO) and

They ask to extend the term that allows municipalities to forgive debts for fines and interests of cleaning rights

MIL OSI Translation. Region: Spanish/Latin America/A –

Source: Chamber Of Deputies Of Chile

To ask the President of the Republic the submission of a project to extend the term established in the Law 20.742, which allows the municipalities in the country to waive debts for fines and any applicable interest to the rights of toilet, it is the object of the resolution 171, adopted by the board of the Chamber of Deputies.

The text, ratified by 124 votes in favor and one abstention, describes that Law 20,742, which improves the supervisory role of the Council, strengthens transparency and probity in the municipalities; creates charges and modifies regulations on people and municipal finances.

In its article 11, the parliamentarians point out, the municipal authorities are empowered so that, within the twelve months following the date of publication of this law and prior agreement of the respective council, they enter into an agreement for the payment of debts for the right to cleanliness . They also add that, they can forgive fines and interest for that concept.

In that sense, the document states that the period expired on April 1, 2015, with thousands of taxpayers having regularized their situation, given that, as indicated at the time by the Chilean Association of Municipalities, 40% of the defaulters do not know what they owe and that, many times, for the additional charges, the total amount to be paid is twice the original debt, adding in turn that, this is a debt that is never extinguished.

But, continues the text, the rule establishes, once that term is over, that the municipalities must proceed with the respective judicial collection, which they seek to avoid the municipalities, at least because it produces those people who want to pay, but they are with that in addition to the amount of arrears, they must cancel the interest and readjustments for the time elapsed.

Winter time, summer time: the European Commission proposes to end it

MIL OSI Translation. Region: France and French Territories –

The President of the European Commission has presented to MEPs a proposal to end in 2019 the obligation for Member States to advance clocks by one hour in March and to reduce them by the same amount in October.

What is the project?

At the request of the European Parliament, the Commission conducted a public consultation on seasonal time changes during the summer of 2018 which collected 4.6 million responses (the highest participation rate ever recorded for a consultation). organized by the Commission). 84% of those who responded said they favored their removal.

The Commission therefore proposes to end these changes from 2019, leaving the 28 Member States free to decide whether they want to permanently apply summer time or winter time. In accordance with the legislative proposal, Member States should coordinate their choices in order to safeguard the proper functioning of the internal market and to avoid the fragmentation that may occur in a situation where some decide to continue to apply the time-related rules. while others would delete them.

To ensure a smooth transition, the proposed Directive requires each Member State to notify the Commission by April 2019 of its intention to permanently apply summer time or winter time. The last compulsory daylight saving time will be on Sunday 31 March 2019. Member States wishing to return permanently to winter time will have the possibility of making a final change on Sunday 27 October 2019. After this date, seasonal time changes will no longer be possible.

This proposal will now be submitted to the european Parliament and the Council, which will decide all the response.

To note :

The next time change will take place in the night of Saturday 27 to Sunday 28 October 2018 : at 3 o’clock in the morning, we pushed back the hands of time and it will be 2 hours. This will help to gain an hour of sleep but will be losing one hour of brightness in the end of the day.

Why give up the time change ?

Introduced for economic reasons during the oil crisis of the 1970s, the time change has lost much of its relevance because expert studies have shown that energy savings become marginal. In addition, countries such as Sweden, Lithuania, Finland or Poland, called for the abandonment of this system for several years, and the european citizens were more likely to complain of adverse impacts on health and on the number of road accidents.

Namely :

What is the situation elsewhere in the world?

About 60 countries, mainly located in North America and Oceania, apply seasonal time changes.

An increasing number of neighbouring countries or trading partners of the european Union have chosen not to apply or delete the terms and conditions pertaining to the summer time, such as Iceland, China, Russia, Belarus, and most recently Turkey.
